On December 28, 2021, Xu Hefen introduced the creative experience of Ping An Lock to reporters. She said that as an intangible cultural heritage, the color matching, pattern design and sewing process of ping an lock are very exquisite.
About color matching. The "Common Prosperity and Peace Lock" is preferred in red, symbolizing festivity, auspiciousness and beauty, and has the meaning of expelling evil in ancient Chinese culture. Matched this is blue, which is reminiscent of the sky and the sea, symbolizing eternity, reason, peace, and purity.

About pattern design. According to traditional customs, the two sides of the bag are usually embroidered with various auspicious patterns, such as bats, pomegranates, dragons and phoenixes, evergreens, cash cows, ruyi, lotuses, peony flowers, etc. While retaining the peony flower pattern and its rich and auspicious meaning, Xu Hefen used his brain to innovate and give the peace lock a new connotation with the theme of "common prosperity", with distinct characteristics of the times.
From the production process, Xu Hefen used two techniques: embroidery and paper cutting. She uses contour embroidery to outline the shape of the peace lock, embroiders the edges with a roll needle, and uses paper-cutting and its thermal transfer technique to inlay blue peony flowers and "common wealth" on two pieces of red satin wrapping, showing her superb skill.
According to experts, the combination of paper-cutting techniques and traditional embroidery constitutes the uniqueness of the art works of "Common Prosperity and Peace Lock". On the one hand, the image of peony blossom is depicted with simple paper-cut lines, symbolizing the blossoming wealth and prosperity; the other side is the word "common prosperity" of paper-cutting, supplemented by the locking edge of traditional Chinese hand-embroidery techniques, the shape is three-dimensional and full, showing a simple and healthy national cultural and sports connotation, showing the modern society people's expectations for a happy and prosperous life and the spiritual outlook of hard work, hard work and prosperity, and common prosperity.
